TO ANSWER FOR HIS SIN.
Frederick Bickls Is Sorry BE Robbed
the Duluth Bank.
HIS LETTER TO HIS MOTHER.
He will Plead Guilty In Court and
Ask For Merey--Gone to
r. Duluth.

.'The way of the transgressor is
hard!" Thus spoke Frederick Bickle,
the young Duluth bank robber, at 10
o'clock yesterday morning, as with
bowed head and spirits at zero, he,en-
tered PinkertOn'S st. Paul agency in
charge of William A. Pinkerton, the
noted chief. Seating himself wearily
alta desk he buried his face in his hands
and gave way to his grief, while the
stern, grim-yisaged thief-taker stood
. around in silent sympathy and allowed
his feelings full sway. He dreaded
reaching st. Paul, knowing that few
short hours would bring him face to
face with the employers he had so
grievOusly wrOnged.
Before leaving Chicago he wrote a
long letter to his poor old mother i'll
Vermont, in which he gave a complete
history of his life since leaving home !;
told her of his crime. his present condi-
tion and the hard fate in store for him.
He begged her forgiveness, told her not
to worry and bade her farewell for per-
haps
MANY YEARS TO COME.
He was overcome several times when
writing the letter, but finally sealed it
with a short sigh of relief, remarking
that it was ''sad news for home"
He does not expect clemency, but is
listless and at times deeply lost in
thought. During all the five weeks
the detectives shadowed him, he was
ignorant of the fact and fancied him.
self beyond detection. His surprise at
Chicago was complete. When asked
why he had committed the crime, he
replied: "Well 1 was living on a
meager salary and became dissatisfied.
The money was there before me all
hours of the day, easy to make away
with and | reasoned with myself as to
why l should be living so closely when
/ could just as well live handsomely
with plenty of money. | was too rest
less, never stuck to anything and could
not wait, though my prospects were
good"
He was naturally sorry he had stolen
the money, as is always the case when
detected, but seemed to be more appre-
hensive as to the effect upon his mother:
He will plead guilty in Duluth and
court. Though extremely young, the
detectives think he will get all the way
from
FIVE TO SEVEN YEARS,
though they think perhaps his friends
may intercede for him and secure as
light sentence as possible. The de-
tectives say that his folks will hardly
come on to Duluth, as the distance is
great, and the expense being very heavy
his parents are not able to bear it. The
detectives say that he is not criminal
at heart, but that it is simply the old
story of not being able to resist tempta-
tion. Mr.. Pi1kerton and his prisoner
left for Duluth a few hours later, &C
companied by Mr.. Loader, the st. Paul
superintendent.

POINTS ON WINES.
Champagne a Cheap Beverage
COmpared With Some Others.

New York, of course, consumes more
champagne than any other city in the
United States, but Chicago uses large
amount of it, writes a Philadelphia
Press correspondent. That is due to
the fact that it is great speculative cen
ter. Spectators are the most liberal
imbiberS of champagne in the country,
and places which cater to them are con-
stantly besieged by the keen agents of
wine houses.
These agents are fashionably dressed,
elegant gentlemen, but their life is a
hard one. They must drink wine and
spend money literally, and each must
have, beside pleasing address, an iron
constitution. They must know and be
OH good terms with the bartenders and
wine stewards at the fashionable re-
sorts of the city, for little carelesSness
ip keeping wine at proper temperature
or in serving it may ruin its sale to de-
sirable customers. They must know
everybody who is worth knowing and
spend their liberal allowances for incl
dentals with judgment. One agent for
a. then comparatively obscure firm had
itswine put on the bills of fare of nearly
every hotel in New York not long ago,
by reason of his extensive acquaintance
the extent of his expense account, and
he left them, taking with him much of
his custom.
The great champagne firm has its de-
partment of still wines conducted by
experts in that branch of the trade, who
will tell you the age and pedigree of a
wine by tasting it. They will tell you
that Americans are making cOmpara-
lively slow progress in learning to drink
expensive still wines, and that cham
pagne is not, after all, the most expen-
siye of various drinks. Clarets and
Rhine wine at s. bottle are sold in
considerable quantities, and Giovanni
MorOsini. Mr.. Gould's right hand man,
who is not a wine drinker
himself, but keeps well stocked
cellar, has some of that peculiarly
rich brand of Italian wine
known as Chianti, which is almost
worth its weight in gold. The average

FAIR CIGAR FABRICATORS.

Women Far Superior to Men in
Their Delicacy of Touch and
Dexterity.
RIGA de Tabacos' is laborous and not
very well paid, but it is CHEEKY. Two
millions of pounds of tobacco are on an
average manipulated in factory en-
plOying, say, 1900 hands. A deXtrous
female operative may make in day
from ten to twelve ''atOdOS' or bundles,
each containing fifty cigars, and it is
questionable whether her average Sti
pend exceeds the Spanish equivalent of
one shilling and siXpence day Elder
women are employed in making, at some
what higher wages, a very fine rappee
snuff called ''tabacO de trailes," cor
monks mixture, which is garbled with
''almagra," red earth brought from
the vicinity of Carthagena. 1t is not
alone in the great cities of the penin-
sula that the cigar-making industry
gives employment to crowds of women,
for the most part young, says London
paper. 1t may be mentioned incident
ally that the Spanish ''cigarreras" are
very healthy race, and enjoy remarka-
bic immunity from febrile maladies. In
the city of New York alone it is esti-
mated that there are 20, 900 cigarmakers,
large proportion of whom are women;
and it is noteworthy fact that the in
duStry is almost wholly native, cigar
makers by trade forming but tiny
quota in the great army OF immigrants
from Europe landed in the course of
every year ON the shores of the United
States.
Possibly the German cigarmakers can
find as much work as they want at Bre-
men, at Hamburg, and at the East end
of London. In the Philippine islands
the ladies have decidedly the best of it
in comparison with the ruder sex as
cigarmakers, there being at Manila
cheroOt factory employing 1000 females
as against only 1,200 male artificers,
MalabOn 1900 cigar workers, the great
majority of whom are women. Ne
crosses, mulattOs and quadroons are
also extensively employed in the cigar
factories of Havana. Formerly they
suffered keenly from the competition of
the Chinese coolies, who at present, to
the exclusion of female labor, are the
chief fabricatOrS of cigars at San Fran
cisco; but in the historic factories of
Havana the prime brands of cigars are
always finished by white men. 9th
erwise the dexterity and delicacy of
touch of the female hand have marked
its owner as specially fit for the craft of
cigar-rOlling and covering. In the ap-
plication of the touch of gum at the tip,

MIR. SEIBERT"S CONCERT.
An Enjoyable Opening of the
Winters Sunday Night Series.

! Prof. Seibert's orchestra opened the
season of sacred concerts at Turner
hall last night. These Sunday evening
? concerts will take place at intervals of
2twO weeks, alternating with the dra-
5matic entertainments of the Germania
Turnverein. The mission of the con-
-certs, as announced in Prof. Seibert' S
Musical and Dramatic Journal lis ''to cul-
1,tivate the musical branch of local and
domestic pretenSi0nS, with the object in
view, not to abandon the field entirely
to the mercies of imported shows with
their highly favored modern Eastern
tastes, and patterns extravagantly
fitted" A Sunday evening of enjoy
ment in the good old German way, with
good music, good beer and social inter
course was the result last night. SmOk-
ing in the hail is prohibited, and
an intermission is provided between
parts for conversation, promenades and
refreshments. The orchestra has been
enlarged to the number of thirty muSi-
clans, and under the direction of Prof.
Seibert is doing some very excellent
work. Three soloiSts assisted in the
programme lastnight; d. .Muehlenbruch,
violinist; Mime. Francis E. Heine, vocal.
and Louis Mich, celloist. The pro-
gramme opened last night with Franz
Schubert's grand march, Character
iStic:" MendelSSOhn'S overture, ''Heim-
kehr aus der Fremde;" and
7 A DOUBLE NUMBER
consisting of ''Minuet aus dem Ballet" {"
by Breull, and ''Pizzicato Polka" by
Weiss, completed the first part. Mr..
y aMuehlenbruch rendered David's violin
solo, "Fantaisie on Russian Airs" to the
accompaniment of Prof. Oscar Werner,
and was highly applauded. Nine.
Heine sang Dessauer's Locking" and
Becker's "Fruehlingszeit." The
madame has deep, rich voice of con-
siderable power and sings with good ex-
preston. The treat of the evening was
the cello solo by Louis Mich. He
rendered Bargil's ''Adagio" with such
effectiveness that the audience insisted
upon an encore. Mr.. Mich has sue
ceeded to the place of Backmann, who
recently departed for California. He
comes from the city of Basel, Switzer-
land, where he has resided eight years,
but is an American by birth. He was
born in New Orleans, emigrating with
his father to Mayence, Germany, during
the rebellion, and has studied music
and violin making for the past twenty
years. The entertainment was con-
cluded by the entire orchestra in an
overture by Kerssen and pOtpourri by
Raida, and the audience, which was
large, left the hall highly pleased.

Catarrhal Dangers.

To be freed from the dangers of sutfocation
while lying down: to breathe freely. sleep
soundly and undIsturbed; to rise refreshed
head clear, brain active and free from pain or
ache Ito know that no poisonous, putrid matter
defiles the breath and rots away the delicate
machinery of smell, taste and hearing; to
feel that the system does not, through its
veins and arteries, suck up the poison that is
sure to undermine and destroy, is indeed a
blessing beyond all other human enjoyments
To purchase immunity from such fate
should be the object of all afflicted. But
those who have tried many remedies and
physicians despair of relief or cure.
SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE meets every
phase of Catarrh, from simple head cold to
the most loathsome and destructive stages.
1t is local and constitutional. Instant in re-
lieving, permanent in curing, safe, econom-
ical and never-failing.
SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE consists of one
bottle of the RADICAL CURE. one box of CA
TARRHAL SOLVENT, and one IMPROVED IN
HALER, all wrapped IN one package, with
treatise and directions, and sold by all drug
giss for S1.00.

MISSIONS IN FRANCE.
A Summary of the Work Done by
MIR. and Mrs. Mccall.

''The Mccall Missions of Paris" was
the subject of an eloquent address by
Rev. Mr.. Braey, the American repre-
sentative of the French Mission society,
at Plymouth church last evening.
''What Inventions" he said. ''are to The
physical wants of man, these missions
are to the spiritual wants of the nom
church-going populace OF a city like
Paris. BOsSuet says, 'PaganS believed
in holiness because they saw the saints
So the communists of Paris believed in
Christianity because they saw Mccall
and his wife living it. This work COM
menced fifteen years ago, has grown to
immense proportions in Paris and in
France at large. In Paris there are
now thirty-five of these stations, while
in the whole of France there are more
than hundred. These people have
MURDERED OUR LANGUAGE
for the cause of Christianity as no one
before them. Scholars, statesmen, many
of the greatest men of France are be-
hind this movement. The work which
began with few children in 1872, last
week led 1000 children to hear the word
of God, many of whom had never before
heard Gods name except from the lips
of swearing parents. 1t reaches the
deepest needs, the deepest wants of the
people. For ten centuries the problem
of how to feed Paris has confronted the
statesmen of that city. Mccall is solving
a deeper problem, how to feed Paris
spiritually. The Mccall method is not
only successful in drawing the people to
these stations, but also in interesting
them. All classes and grades of
belief were met with. On one side
were the men with SuperstitiOns, reach
ing even back of Rome; on the other
side men with no belief at all, and be-
tween these two extrems lay the wide
and varied spectrum of religious belief.
Bibles
CAN NOT BE PROCURED
in Paris. They are classed as immoral
books. If men know not the Bible how
can they know Christ? Vast numbers
of converts gointO the churches of Paris
every year from these missions. There
is no country in the world to-day where
the government will do more for the
Protestant cause than the present gov
ernment of France"
The speaker then closed with an ap-
peal for aid for the support of these
missions. and reviewed the early his
tory of this country, showing what it
owed to France. IF for no other cause
than that of gratitude, he said. Ito the
land that produced Lafayette, ROcham-
beau, De GrasSe and the many French
men who helped to establish this gov
ernment, you ought to help in this great

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.
The First Of a Series of Lectures
to Be Given in This City.

to BE Given In Ih1S CIty.
Christian science is gaining quite a
foOthold in st. Paul, and in the words
of one of the leading lights: ''Many
converts are daily being added to the
already long following" Word was
received last week by prominent scien-
fists in st. Paul from Rev. Mr.. Waddell,
of Minneapolis, saying he would give
free lecture on the subject if hall were
provided. MessrS. M. +. Richardson,
Z. j. Burchard and j. 2. Martin secured
a hall in the basement of the Drake
block, and yesterday afternoon at 3 MI.
Waddell appeared before an audience
of about 200. He fully explained the
principles of the movement and stated
that he came not there to antagOniZe
any belief or church; that he only
wished to give plain, comprehensive
talk. and the people were at liberty to
believe what they wished: that Chris
tian science had been badly misrepre-
Sented and in many cases inSutficiently
represented; that the science, if prop
erly taught, could never come in con-
fiict with any truth ever breathed, and
thathe merely wished to allay all mis-
apprehension and explain the science as
it is, and not as it has been.
His lecture lasted an hour and half,
and at its conclusion he was surrounded
by many persons who expressed them
selves as deeply interested in his talk,
though they had been ignorant before,
and were willing to be convinced. This
is but the first of a series of talks on the
subject in st. Paul by Mr.. Waddell.

expenses of the hall netted S11, several

A maiden stood. with downcast eyes,
And naught disturbed the stiffness there
Except her sobs and mournful sighs.

With hollow eyes and starving men,
And all about that little form,
Though pitiful was wondrous clean.

A look of pain and untold woe.
Caused rough, stern hearts to soften there,
And many pitying tears TO flow.

CATTLE DEALERS TALK.
What John Howard, of Montana,
Saws of the Ranges There.

says OF the Ranges II1efe.
John Howard, an officer of the Home
Live Stock and Cattle company, of
Montana, is in st. Paul. Besides draw
ing a good salary as an officer, Mr..
Howard OWNS chunk of $4,000 worth
of stock in the company, and has some
other property interests. He has has
not been so far east as St. Paul for
twenty years, and may therefore be
properly spoken of as wild West
erner" His looks, however, do not be-
tray this, and when GLOBE reporter
saw him he was indulging in the dude
habit of smoking cigarette through an
amber holder. Mr.. Howard said that
there was general feeling that the
cattle dealers was over and
there were better times ahead.
As an instance of the terrible loss
among certain kinds of cattle, he said
that his company had turned out one
herd of 5000 year ago, and at the
spring roundup" there were not 400
OF them left This, however, was not
to be taken as an average loss. The
herd was made up of ''TeXaS rawhideS"
which had never seen any cold weather
and cid not know the ranges. ConSe-
Quently the loss was heavier than it
would be with the same number that
had been in Montana over one season.
Mr.. Howard said that one who was i'll
tending to start in the stock growing
business would probably make more
money by investing in and raising
horses than by putting the same money
into cattle The small dealers were the
ones who had been forced by last win

there had been any such. Companies

Martha" Miss Ida Klein made an eX-
cellent impression as Lady Harriet.
Her voice is light soprano of consider
able flexibility. 1t is clear and sweet,
sessed of quality which renders it
quite effective in the ensembles. Miss
Campbell as Nancy sang as well as acted
with animation. MesSrs. Appleby and
Saxon were very acceptable as Lionel
and Plunkett. and Mr.. Bainbridge made
a good Tristan. j. c. Miron was the
sheriff. The performance was a spirited
one. Miss Klein, who was formerly
member of the German company at the
Metropolitan opera house, New York,
made her first appearance in Chicago
upon this occasion.
